I saw some regressions on today's Linux-next kernel after the Makefiles got reworked and tried to come up with a quick fix. This ended up taking much longer, but the new version should be cleaner and I no longer get any build errors in this driver.
The first two patches are just preparation to avoid the namespace problems with global symbols and the module name.
The next five patches separate out each subdirectory that has its own Makefile into a separate loadable module.
The final patch is just a nice addon, it should work in theory but this needs to be tested well.
